Twiggysmiff, While I don't think you can OD on Gas x its propably not good to exceed the recommeded dose. I just had my surgery on 1/13 and have found that a moist heat heating pad helps greatly with the gas. I do know what you mean about the best fart of your life as right before it happened you felt like your body was about to implode and the release was nearly the bes sensation ever. I experianced a similar situation and would have jumped for joy but eleceted to not for fear of damage to the incisions. :yikes: Good luck in your adventure and I hope you find relief soon!

Hello to all! I am also new to the site as this is my 4th day post op, banded on 1/13/09. I am excited about what will come from this and look forward to feeling better. So far the pain as been managable but the gas is unbelieveable. I have been using Axcid medication and a moist heating pad to relieve the symptoms and so far that seems to be working. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to deal with the discomfort at this point? For those who are considering the procedure, at this point I have nothing but good to report and wish you the best in your process. Feel free to ask any questions that I may be able to answer
